True I think the 'old guard' is gone. I was a lurker for past few years. I
didn't have a digital camera or the desire to share my creations with the
world. It was a hobby or time killer for me, building castles and whatnot.
Now I think I have some ideas that are worth sharing. I hope to become part
of the 'new guard' and welcome back the 'old guard'. Because let's face it,
they'll be back. Nobody with that kind of motivation and imagination can
just quit. Shiri, Chris, Pawel and the rest will be back. I have faith. I
also know the lego castles will be back. I predict this. The Megablocks
dragons, and the Lord of the Rings sets, will spark a comeback. Megablocks
will continue to create decent sets for good prices. This will eventually
take a percentage away from Lego. And if Lego has anyone who went to
buisness school, they will realize the trend and capitalize on it. This
will produce a Renaissance of sorts. Once the HP line runs down, the castle
will return, with force. You just know the designers are sitting on some
models that will blow our minds. The time will be right for new peices and
figs too. Just wait till it comes. I'm pumped. Also to tide the
residents of castle over for bit, with-in the week, my brickshelf account
will be full of MOCs. Dragons, Airships, Battleships, Figs, Castles,
Weapons, etc. I got some good stuff here!

| (...) Hi Erick! Thanks for the enthusiasm. I know I'm jumping in a little late on this, but I agree with you. I don't think castle is dead at all! I've seen some wonderful creations around here as of late. While it may never be as busy as the "olden (...) (22 years ago, 7-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
